Google ads displacing posts
Suddenly tonight, I'm getting blue and white backgrounded Ads By Google on the right part of the page. On the forum thread list page, they fit fine, but on the thread itself, the ads are a few pixels too wide, and all the posts appear below them.
Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.8, ....... disabled.
Edit to add: see post 6 for a screenshot.

I've seen the problem at hand before. Today, I'm experiencing a similar, but new (to me) issue.
Adds are forcing the thread content to below the viewable area on my screen, so it appears as though pages haven't loaded properly; content is still there if I scroll down.
I'm too lazy to post a screen shot or try a different browser; I'm using Chrome.

Am also having similar problems to bhatnasx and the others, with Google ads onto of 3rd/4th post in threads. These are typically green colours. The blue/white ads are hidden behind the "logout" text.

Here's a screenshot of the issue I started the thread for.
I loaded the same page in IE8, and the problem didn't occur. Maybe it's specific to Firefox.
And I am also seeing the single ad overlaying the post text as described in posts 2 & 5.

I'm having the same problem this morning, which seemed to start just after I did some updates on my computer. When I accidentally clicked on the two-toned green box ad covering a post (hoping that I was X-ing out of it), it sent me to CheapOair.

So it's not just me. I'm experiencing this too; in fact, it's happening on this very thread. Simultaneously, the Google ads in the right column aren't loading properly; they can't be read.
